929. Sing to the Lord of harvest

1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
Sing songs of love and praise,
With joyful hearts and voices,
Your hallelujahs raise;
By him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A song of grateful love.

2 By him the clouds drop fatness,
The deserts bloom and spring,
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing;
He filleth with his fulness
All things with large increase;
He crowns the year with goodness,
With plenty and with peace.

3 Heap on his sacred altar
The gifts his good ness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls he died to save;
Your hearts lay down before him,
When at his feet ye fall,
And with your lives adore him
Who gave his life for all.
